I think RSS would be the best Youtube alternative. RSS works great for just about anything you want to broadcast. I don't know why people refuse to use it for video.

IDK. I've never had a kitchen utensil break on me. Not sure it matters what brand you buy. When it comes to kitchen utensils I think the vast majority are buy it for life.

You can in Newfoundland if you have a permit.

I've tried Lemmy a bit last night. I know Lemmy threads can be searched and browsed here and I'm not sure it matter, but if it does I hope it's Kbin that wins the mass adoption war. I'm finding the Kbin UI experience more enjoyable. I also appreciate the way it combines a microblog tweet like feature with reddit type usage into the same platform.

I see some people using their real names or enough clues that their real identiy can be found out.. I hope they realize how transparent this platform is.

I'm imaging some will come here unaware of that fact, think they are just lurking, but still voting never the less. The voting gives info about what they were looking at and their opinion about what they were looking at. No comment is necessary.

Maybe they secretly looked at porn on Reddit an upvoted what they liked. secretly had a history of voting on gore/death subs, . . whatever it was, Reddit allowed that info to be kept between Reddit and the user.

Here that info is a public record. Bots will eventually be used to gobble that info up.

I'm also starting to wonder about the people and servers that are running and maintaining the instances. Have they been vetted? Are we just going on blind faith that they are keeping the user email data secure?

Idk, but I can't imagine it being very effective. I don't think most reddit users actually go into subreddits directly. I think most people engage on reddit through their front page and multireddits. When a sub puts garbage up it will just be removed from their multi reddit list or front page. Once the removal is done the content in the protest sub won't be missed or seen.

If they do come it will be out of curiosity. If the communities are not built and active they won't stay. So far the only active communities I've seen are the Fuck Reddit communities. The vast majority isn't interested in that.

I can't be on several platforms? Out of curiosity I joined other potential reddit alternatives in the past even though I had no plans on leaving Reddit. Same situation here.

For me it's the anonymity that Reddit and this site provide that allows the fear-free freedom of expression. If I had to use my real name I wouldn't post anything ever about anything regardless to whether I agreed with what I wrote or not.

This site isn't completely positive to everything. My pro-Reddit-admin-action comments seem to be getting lots of hate here.
